The Ridge Meadows Junior Flames won gold in the 2011 division at the Pacific Spring Showcase hockey tournament last weekend.

The Flames opened the tournament with a 13-0 win over the BC Selects on June 17, as they started the round-robin portion of the tourney.

On June 19 they played twice, beating the Jr. Steelers Black by a score of 10-5, and the Fraser Valley Kings Grey 12-1.

They finished the round-r0bin with a 3-1 record, after losing to Team Bossy 7-5 in a close game.

But they took revenge on Bossy when the two teams met again in the gold medal game, as the Flames won handily 8-0.

Connor Baines led the team in scoring with 11 goals and 19 points through the five games, while Jacob White was the leading goal-getter with 13 and 18 points. Emmett Baines was also prolific, with four goals and 14 points. The team got offence from throughout the lineup, with 13 different scorers in the tournament.
